All-in-on Sandwiches

Ina tempted us with a new lunch destination, Giordano Bros. in North Beach and their Pittsburg style all-in-one sandwiches. While the trek is a little far for us FiDi-ers, after reviewing the website, we thought it might be worth the additional effort. The sandwiches are stuffed with meat, melted provolone cheese, along with coleslaw and fries. Ina tried the pastrami with fried egg, Ruby had the sausage, and I had the capicola. The meat is grilled with the provolone cheese, served on a soft white bread with a crust with some chew, topped with a vinegary cabbage slaw with some cracked black pepper, and French fries. Apparently this is following in the tradition of Pittsburg’s Primanti Bros. It was a satisfying meal, the sandwiches were awesome, the only thing missing was a nice cold beer, but since we had to go back to work, I didn’t think it would hebe condusive to getting anything done. I also gave their all-in-one cookie a try, it’s a chocolate chip cookie with peanut butter (chunky) and rice crispies. Tasty, but I would have been happier without peanut butter…but that’s just me.
Giordano Bros. is a sports bar with live music in the evenings, a little divey, but definitely worth a return trip.
